Moose Humpy's & Cahill

StumpHunter · Nov 16, 2012

Finally had a chance to set at the bench and use some of the moose hair that MaryLou sent me a few weeks ago. Tied a 1/2 dozen of each color, chartreuse, red and orange Humpy's in size #10 and while I was tying I also tied 1/2 dozen of these extended tail Cahill's.
Now to find a good day or any day to try them....:-/

Stump - Nice ties!!!!!!!! For anyone thinking about them here's an excerpt from Skip Morris's book with a step by step http://flyanglersonline.com/flytying/fotw/120699fotw.php

and yes!!! you can tie them on a jig head but it has to be hook up in the vise.

Here's another way of doing them using foam and different wing types, enjoy

The humpers look sweet - squint your eyes and make them blurry and those look like bugs on the screen.

Nice touch of attracting colors on the under body as well. Gills will hit those hard when they are looking up.

Man those are wicked good!

StumpHunter · Nov 17, 2012

Thanks MaryLou, I should be able to tie a few more with the moose hair I now have

Thanks Attica. The Humpy is a buggy looking fly and floats like a cork! The under body colors does help the fish find them in stained water and they just look cool

Fatman the extended body on that fly is tied using wood duck flank feather. May have to do a tutorial on that fly since all of us like to tie with duck.

Those right is what seperates the men from the boys!! I always believed that anyone can tie a jig but it take talent, and skill to do flies and those flies could be on a magazine cover or in a catalog! Beautiful work!!!

Thanks Ronny and smalljaw
